depends of who you ask..*grin*....since it is a 'open' forum, the sign over the door gets ignored a lot, as you have noticed..It is the best programmed and arranged forum on the WWW, so lots of folks flock HERE to talk..It IS a folk music forum, but some of the regulars are so eclectic that they can't keep their knowlege and interests focused narrowly...and it has become a true 'community' with all the BS that goes along with that...*smile*You sort of post your thoughts and dodge!
